Apple Dippin’ Peanut Butter Cookies

Good Sunday morning! I am so excited to share this little gem of a cookie with you all today. One of my all time favorite flavor combinations is apples and peanut butter, alright just about anything with peanut butter is fantastic. It’s ridiculous the amount of peanut butter we go through in this house! I remember dipping apples with peanut butter as a kid and have recently introduced it to my little rugrats. They seem to love it as much as I do.

In celebration of my love for this mighty fine combo I created a cookie that is hands down Fabulous! Make sure you find yourself some Turbinado Sugar at your grocery store. It gives the best sweet little crunch to each bite. I’ve seen it in quite a few grocery stores, so look a little closer down the baking isle and pick some up for these cookies.

Next time you feel like making a batch of cookies, you gotta try these babies, just try not to eat all the dough so you have some cookies to make! Enjoy!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until light mixed well. Beat in peanut butter until combined then add the egg and vanilla until well combined.

2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, granola, baking soda and salt. Slowly mix into the wet ingredients following the apples until just combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough, roll into sugar then place onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. With tines of a fork, press down slightly making an X on top of each cookie. Bake for 8-9 minutes, cookies should look somewhat soft inside when you take them out. Let cool/finish baking out of oven for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.

3. Grab some milk and dig in!

Here’s to a great new week and great new recipes to come. See you soon!

Well, I’ve never really commented on your blog before, though I’ve followed it fanatically for like a year now. I always love your dessert creations. These sound amazing! I dip everything in peanut butter too – pieces of chocolate, apples, celery, carrot sticks, you name it. So your peanut butter recipes are what I look forward to the most. Thanks for what sounds like another great one!

Thanks everyone. Those vanilla granola clusters can be found at markets like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Fresh and Easy or if you are still not having luck, you can use the boxed cereal that is granola based. Enjoy!!

They look so delicious! I love apples and peanut butter. Both times I was pregnant, that was my super favorite snack. I can’t believe you found a way to make it even better – put it in a cookie! You’re genius.

Wow, those look amazing. My 3-year-old has just discovered peanut butter and apples, but she mostly just likes to stick her hand in the jar and eat the PB off her hand. Kinda gross! I just saw your breakfast quiche how-to video on the Pillsbury website. I saw the thumbnail and thought, “Hey! That’s the Picky Palate girl!!”

mmm… just made these! so yummy! and they are SOFT which is a must for peanut butter cookies for me. i didn’t have the vanilla clusters on hand (obviously!) so i used 1/2 oats and 1/2 crumbled vanilla wafers. i also didn’t roll them in sugar… though i’m sure they’d be extra good that way. thanks, jenny!
